<div>One year ago, Kelsey ran a half marathon. Today, she can't walk across a room without oxygen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Kelsey has never smoked a cigarette in her life. Today, she has Stage 4 lung cancer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She is 39 years old.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Kelsey was born with a rare genetic variant that predisposes her to lung damage and lung cancer. Four of her six siblings also carry the same variant. For Kelsey, that genetic risk has now become a devastating reality, despite a lifetime of being active, healthy, and never smoking.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Kelsey is a mother of five: Hannah (15), Elizabeth (13), Oliver (11), Chloe (8), and Grant (6). She's a former Division I collegiate swimmer and triathlete, and has built a successful real estate business alongside her husband Jacob. She's the kind of person who lights up every room she walks into, gives everything she has to the people she loves, and always shows up when someone needs her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In 2024, Kelsey was diagnosed with a rare form of lung cancer. After chemotherapy, surgery, and immunotherapy, there was a brief season of hope when her scans showed no evidence of active disease.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Then, this past January, the cancer came back in both lungs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, there is one extraordinary option that will give Kelsey more time with her family: the DREAM Program at Northwestern Medicine in Chicago, a first-of-its-kind double-lung transplant program for patients whose cancer is confined to the lungs. She has passed all of her tests and is expected to go into surgery this Tuesday!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We're raising money to help get this family of seven to Chicago and support them through the year that will give Kelsey a chance at more time with the people she loves most.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Kelsey’s Story</strong>
</div>
<div>Since the cancer returned in January, Kelsey and her care team have fought for every possible option to slow it down. She has been through another round of aggressive treatment, but the cancer has continued to progress. She is now Stage 4, has only 41% lung capacity, and depends on oxygen full-time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Through all of this, Kelsey has continued fighting for more time with Jacob and their five kids.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That fight led our family to Northwestern Medicine in Chicago and the DREAM Program. The program offers double-lung transplantation to a highly selected group of patients whose cancer remains confined to the lungs. After an extensive evaluation, Kelsey passed all of her tests and is expected to go into surgery this coming week.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It is an incredible answer to prayer and it also means the Flake family’s life is about to change dramatically.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Kelsey and Jacob will need to relocate to Chicago for the transplant and recovery. Their children will join them, and the family is required to spend a year there so Kelsey can remain close to Northwestern for treatment, monitoring, and rehabilitation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Both Kelsey and Jacob are self-employed in real estate, so their ability to work and earn income will be significantly reduced during this time. At the same time, they will take on the enormous cost of temporarily relocating a family of seven: housing in Chicago, food, transportation, travel back and forth to Utah, homeschooling and caring for five children, and the countless unexpected expenses that come with spending a year away from home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This GoFundMe is intended to help carry that burden so Kelsey and Jacob can focus their energy where it belongs: on Kelsey’s transplant, her recovery, and keeping their family together.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A separate 501(c)(3) medical fundraiser has also been established to help cover transplant-related medical expenses, medications, and medically necessary travel. If you would like to make a tax-deductible contribution toward those expenses, please contact our family directly.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Kelsey has spent her adult life showing up for other people: her children, her clients, her church community, her friends, and her family. Right now, she is the one who needs people to show up for her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you are able to give, share this fundraiser, or simply pray for Kelsey and her family, we are deeply grateful.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every dollar raised here will go directly to supporting Kelsey, Jacob, Hannah, Elizabeth, Oliver, Chloe, and Grant through the year ahead. Funds will be transferred directly to Kelsey and Jacob and used to pay expenses related to their relocation and year in Chicago, including housing, transportation, travel, meals, childcare, and other necessary living expenses while Kelsey undergoes treatment and recovery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for helping give Kelsey the chance for more time with the people she loves most.
</div>
<div><br />

Help Kelsey Live

<div>Our Provo Fire family is heartbroken to lose Captain Spencer Long, his wife Katrina Long, and their three sons Reid Vernon, Thayne Long and Gage Long due to a devastating flash flood Friday evening. In an instant, their daughter Lydia lost the people she loved most and is now facing an unimaginable future without them.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My husband began working with Spencer at Provo Fire 12 years ago, and through that friendship, Katrina and I became close friends. Over the years, our families shared laughter, trips, milestones, and countless memories. Spencer and Katrina were loving, devoted parents whose greatest joy was their family. They touched the lives of so many with their kindness, generosity, and unwavering love.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Today, we have the opportunity to honor them by surrounding Lydia with the same love and support they so freely gave to others.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As Lydia begins the long journey of grieving and rebuilding her life, she is also facing many unexpected financial burdens. Donations from this fundraiser will go directly to Lydia to help provide for immediate needs, including funeral and memorial expenses, housing, counseling, daily living costs, education, and other expenses that arise as she navigates this unimaginable loss.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>No amount of money can take away Lydia’s pain or replace the family she has lost. But together, we can help ease some of the burdens she now carries and remind her that she is not alone. Every donation, no matter the amount, is a meaningful expression of love and support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser and keeping Lydia in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you for standing with Lydia and helping her find hope and strength in the midst of profound loss.
</div>

Support Lydia After Tragic Loss

<div>Hello! My name is Janessa Judd, and I am representing the LGBTQ+ youth, young adults, and families of Heber City, Utah.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I was born and raised in Heber, and for years I have been advocating for a safe space in my local community. I have presented to the city council, worked with non profits, and other stakeholders in continuous attempts to make my hometown a better place for my younger brother, and all of the other LGBTQ+ youth in my community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>in 2023 the nonprofit Encircle opened a home in Heber. My family was extremely involved with this organization and helped establish the roots of this home. We have actively contributed to encircle through donations, volunteering, and fundraising to support the Encircle Heber Home.
</div>
<div>On July 1st, we received the devastating news that Encirlce would be shutting down the home in Heber and withdrawing their support from the community. This was a complete betrayal to me, my family, and anybody else that has given to encircle in the past four years.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After years of fighting for this, I have decided I am not done advocating for these kids. The queer youth of Heber and every small community deserve to have a space where they feel supported and loved.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please support me and my community as we try to raise funds to buy the home, and turn it into an independently run community center for LGBTQ youth, families, and young adults.
</div>

Help Save Heber's LGBTQ Safe Space

<div>Ben and I met in college, where we became roommates and close friends.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ben has built a beautiful family with his wife, Kaitie, and their four kids. Ben is the kind of person who touches lives as a friend, family member, in his community, or through his work as the voice behind How to Take Over the World. Now, Ben is facing the fight of his life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Recently, Ben was diagnosed with stage 4 high grade neuroendocrine carcinoma. The cancer has spread to his brain, bones, lungs, and liver. He has already started his first round of chemotherapy, but a diagnosis at this stage is admittedly very grim.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ben recently got a genetic test back from his liver biopsy and he's positive for a genetic marker that is likely to respond to a drug called Tarlatamab. In many cases, Tarlatamab can extend expected survival by a year or two, which is massive. But in order to achieve an outcome like that (and hopefully beyond), there will be an endless number of medical expenses for duration of Ben's life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every dollar raised through this fundraiser will go directly toward covering treatment and other ongoing medical expenses. This will give Ben a real chance to spend more time with his family and focus on fighting cancer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We're asking Ben's community to show up for him the way he's always shown up for others. No gift is too small. Funds will be transferred directly from Gofundme to Ben's account. And if you can't give, please share this page, send a note, keep Ben close in your thoughts. Ben spent years telling stories about people who did the impossible. Let's write one for him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With love and gratitude,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

Help Ben Fight Cancer: Support His Treatment

<div>Aloha mai, my name is Kiana Hauhio. I am 40 years old, and I was born and raised in Waianae, HI. I worked my way through college to earn a PhD in Information Technology. Currently, I am employed in cybersecurity, keeping malicious actors and activity at bay for my employer. I enjoy attending church every Sunday, I love spending time with my family at home, going to the beach, trying new eating spots around the island, singing, playing any instrument I can get my hands on, and learning ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>In April 2024, I was diagnosed with colon cancer (of the sigmoid). After surgery to remove the primary cancer and lymph nodes, I underwent 4 rounds of chemotherapy. Post-chemo scans and CEA (a measurement of cancer protein) showed no signs of cancer. I then did my 6-month (May 2025) follow-up scan where doctors saw small lesions on my liver. My 3-month (August 2025) scan showed a spike in CEA and that the lesions on the liver grew in size (these can be seen in the 3 photos). A biopsy confirmed it was cancerous and that it metastasized from my colon. I am now on round 3 of 12 of Folfiri + Avastin chemotherapy.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Recent PET scans showed the cancer is only in the liver, which makes me a potential candidate for a liver transplant. I still need to continue meeting certain criteria for a transplant (no progression in cancer, that I respond to the chemotherapy, my CEA levels remain low, and I need to wait for a year from diagnosis (May 2026)). I am also seeking a second opinion from an oncologist/liver surgeon in California who can offer different treatments for colon cancer that metastasized to the liver on top of chemotherapy to help shrink and get rid of the cancer tumors.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This is where the need for funds is critical. <strong>I will need to make multiple trips to the University of Rochester Medical Center in Rochester, NY from Hawaiʻi for examinations to prepare myself for a liver transplant as well as for the transplant itself and also traveling between Hawaiʻi  and California for other treatments (that isn't chemo) to treat the cancer. </strong>During all this travel, I will need my caregiver to travel with me for these appointments and when surgery happens to assist with healing.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If monetary donations are not possible, I am requesting prayers. Prayers for healing, that I continue to meet the criteria needed for my liver transplant, and that the doors for the transplant and other treatments continue to open.

</div>

Help Kiana beat colon cancer metastases to the liver.

<div>JaRele and her three children, Jacob (17), Derek (14), and Eliana (12), are facing an unimaginable loss. In the early afternoon of Saturday, December 20th, JaRele’s husband, Dustin, was taken from them in a tragic motorcycle accident. Dustin was not only a loving husband and father, but also the family’s main provider, working at BYU to support them. The shock and heartbreak of losing Dustin so suddenly has left JaRele and her children reeling, especially as this tragedy has struck during the holiday season—a time that will now always carry this painful memory.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In the days and months ahead, JaRele and her kids will face many challenges. The funds raised here will help cover immediate medical costs, funeral expenses, and the ongoing living costs that Dustin’s income once provided. With three children to care for, JaRele is now navigating a new reality, and every bit of support will help lighten the heavy burden she carries.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This will be an enduring hardship for their family, but any gift—no matter the size—will be a blessing. Your kindness and generosity will help ease the financial strain and show JaRele, Jacob, Derek, and Eliana that they are not alone in this difficult time. Thank you for considering a donation to support this family as they begin to heal.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Funeral service TBA.

<div>Hello everyone, my name is Ivan Ortiz. My wife Maddie Ortiz was critically injured in a devastating car accident caused by a drunk driver on October 16th, leaving her with severe injuries and a long road to recovery. As she faces multiple surgeries and the possibility of being transferred to an out of state rehabilitation center, we’re struggling with the emotional and financial toll. Maddie is a stay at home mom for our 3 year old son, and I am our family’s sole provider. I’m a licensed barber for Texas Tech Football and for a private studio. My income is based off 100% commission at this time, and I have taken off work to be by Maddie’s side during this difficult time since the accident. We are asking for help to cover medical expenses, travel costs, and basic living expenses as Maddie fights to heal and regain her strength. Any donation, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference and bring hope to our family during our greatest time of need. None of us are prepared for traumatic situations nor how to deal with what has been done to Maddie. I’m asking for as many prayers warriors she can get during this difficult time, that she will make a full recovery and come back home to our family. I appreciate everyone taking their time to read this and by helping out in any way.
</div>

Help Support Maddie’s Road to Recovery

<div>Our hearts are shattered by the sudden and unexpected loss of my sister, Cassie, at the young age of 36 from a pulmonary embolism. Her life revolved around her three children—Emilee (15), Makenzie (13), and Camden (11). Being their mom was her greatest joy and proudest accomplishment. Cassie poured her love into making their everyday lives magical and worked tirelessly to set them up for bright, happy futures.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This GoFundMe was created to honor her devotion to her children. Donations will first help cover funeral expenses. Any remaining funds will be split equally and placed into individual UTMA (Uniform Transfers to Minors Act) accounts for each child. These accounts can be used at any point in their lives for anything that supports their well‑being—whether that means immediate needs, special opportunities, or future education and milestones.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cassie so often spoke with Emilee, Makenzie, and Camden about their futures. She encouraged them to dream big, to work hard, and to believe in themselves. It was her greatest joy to nurture those hopes and to do everything she could to help them thrive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This loss has left an emptiness that words can’t touch—but love has a way of finding the cracks in our pain and filling them with hope.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Let’s be that hope. Let’s wrap this family, these children, in strength, in support, and in the kind of love that reminds them they’re not walking this road alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It’s impossible to sum up the incredible person my sister was, but her obituary shares a little of her story: <a href="https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/legacyremembers/cassandra-jones-obituary?id=59046043" target="_blank" style="font-family:inherit;font-size:1rem;" rel="noreferrer noopener">Obituary</a>

Support Cassie Jones' Children After Her Sudden Passing

<div>Although invisible to most, watching what Lucy has gone through the last 4 years has been incredibly rough. As her mother, I have felt so much sadness watching her suffer.





</div>





<div><br />





</div>





<div>After searching for answers for years (going to dozens and dozens of doctors and getting every possible test under the sun, including hundreds of blood tests), she was diagnosed with late-stage Lyme Complex.





</div>





<div>She has 2 forms of Lyme disease and 4 associated co-infections that have overwhelmed her immune system and left her with an array of complex symptoms, like constant muscle pain, kidney issues, cognitive dysfunction, heart palpitations, dizziness, fever, exhaustion, and on and on!





</div>





<div><br />





</div>





<div>If you have had the pleasure of knowing Lucy when she's been healthy, you know she is the absolute life and soul of any party, class, group, or neighborhood. You would find yourself laughing all day long at the stories, perspective, and humor that she freely shares. Everywhere she goes, she connects with people and extends a hand of friendship. She is fiercely inclusive and holds no judgments. The number of people that she has met at the store, on a walk, or even the mechanic shop who have shown up to family dinners, Sunday afternoon music concerts, or just joined her on a hike in the canyon has left us in awe at her capacity to love. She pulls people into her circle at every chance!





</div>





<div><br />





</div>





<div>This is one of the reasons why the last few years have been painfully difficult for Lucy. Since her mission in West Virginia (where she likely contracted the first form of Lyme), she has been forced to slow down, isolate, withdraw, and just survive these many intense and fluctuating symptoms. Weeks and months at a time have felt incredibly lonely and hopeless. These symptoms have dominated her life, and she has had nowhere to turn for answers—unable to function for more than couple of hours a day.





</div>





<div>She has tried many treatments (the best there is to offer locally), but they have not been able to cure the complexity of this illness.





</div>





<div><br />





</div>





<div>After exhausting every option, <strong>we've finally found a path forward — but we can't do it without help.</strong>





</div>





<div>She was recently referred to the Lyme clinic. The doctors are leading experts in Lyme disease and part of the International Lyme Association.





</div>





<div><br />





</div>





<div>No treatments or appointments have been covered by insurance and without the means to pay for this clinic, she has no way forward. This 5-week program that has helped over 5,000 people recover.





</div>





<div><br />





</div>





<div>The clinic is going to cost around $55k for treatments, stay, labs, and the surgery she needs.





</div>





<div><br />





</div>





<div><strong>Lucy is the first to help others, but this is a time when she needs help.</strong>





</div>





<div>This is her path to healing and hope in her future—to get her life back so she can move forward.





</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>She would be able to get in as soon as October 6th ,  through a connection who put her in direct contact with the leading doctor at the clinic.<br />

</div>





<div><br />





</div>





<div>We are deeply appreciative of the time you have taken to read this and any help you can offer Lucy.





</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Corey lived in Tokyo, Japan with his family working for the @PGATOUR and growing the audience for the game of golf in Asia. Not surprisingly, he was incredibly successful in his job and community.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We miss him terribly and have heard the desires of so many of you to reach out and help a little with the medical and funeral expenses. This feels like the most appropriate way to do so.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Lots of love to you all!

<div>My name is Leona Hanna. I am Diné, born of the Towering House Clan and born for the Edgewater Clan. My husband and I have been married for 22 years; we have four children.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My 17-year-old son, Noah, has been diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer. Doctors call it a high-grade glioma with pleomorphic and pseudopapillary features.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In late August, Noah suffered from a persistent migraine that caused him to vomit. Despite his best efforts, he couldn’t keep anything down. He was admitted to the emergency room, where the clinicians administered IV fluids and gave him a migraine cocktail before releasing him. They told us he was severely dehydrated.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We took him home, but he woke up the next day with another migraine and still couldn’t eat or drink. It was an incredibly difficult week, filled with debilitating migraines and bouts of vomiting. A few days after being released from the hospital, he reported experiencing double vision.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>By that weekend, we found ourselves back in the emergency room. As soon as we mentioned Noah's double vision, he was taken for an MRI. Not long after, the doctors delivered the news. The MRI revealed a golf ball-sized tumor on the right side of his brain, and he would need emergency brain surgery. He and I were transported by ambulance to the main Primary Children’s Hospital campus in Salt Lake City. I am so thankful we live in a place with such excellent care; PCH truly is a lifesaver.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Throughout this ordeal, Noah remained alert and even enjoyed the ambulance ride, admiring the view in reverse. The medical team watched him closely; they feared he would have a seizure. We met so many wonderful people throughout this journey, starting with the excellent staff in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). I will not forget their kindness.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At noon on Saturday, September 7, we entrusted Noah's life to the skillful hands of the Chief of Pediatric Neurosurgery. Those three hours felt like the longest of our lives. My husband and I clung to one another, feeling helpless as we waited. I am so glad Nick was by my side every step of the way.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The surgery was successful, and the surgeon felt confident that he had removed the entire tumor. Based on his experience, the tumor appeared to be a high-grade glioma, indicating a high probability of it being cancerous. However, they wouldn't know for certain until a pathologist examined the tissue under a microscope. Preliminary results would take a couple of weeks, while an official diagnosis would take about six weeks.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Noah spent the following days in the ICU recovering from brain surgery. Everything felt surreal. I took the early morning shift the day after his surgery. At 3 a.m., Noah was awake and conversing as he never had in his 17 years. He spoke in Navajo, told the time, named animals, and expressed love in his native language. He recalled meaningful memories from his grandma’s house and hiking in southern Utah as if he were desperately trying to hold onto the memories he feared he might lose. Noah had won the first battle; he came through the surgery with little to no loss of motor skills or memory.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Over the next few weeks, we learned that the tumor is cancerous. Noah would need both radiation and chemotherapy. He has completed three weeks of radiation and chemotherapy. Small victories. His body is tolerating the treatment well enough. He naps more often, but he hasn’t had a single migraine. He will have a gnarly scar over his right ear and possibly lose some or all of his luscious hair. His vision was restored after the swelling in his brain subsided. His hair is thinning a bit from radiation, and the hair around his incision has regrown nearly an inch long. He is slowly returning to doing the activities he loves, such as disc golf, pickleball, hoop dancing, board games, billiards, and darts. He has four weeks of radiation left and seven months of chemotherapy to go.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I now understand how to respond when asked about our needs. I realize that we are part of a caring community that wants to help us. We tried our best to carry this load alone, but we couldn't do it by ourselves. The bills are piling up, and we can't pay them. My friend Jen has graciously offered to help us set up a fundraiser. She has wisely advised me to accept help from others.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The money raised will be used for medical expenses, a laptop, lost wages, and transportation costs.</strong> Noah and I have been driving to Salt Lake City every day for treatment, which is about an hour's drive from our home. I would also like to buy Noah a laptop so he can keep up with his classes. We were barely getting by in this economy before the tumor diagnosis, and now we are struggling to stay afloat. My husband, Nick, has missed many days of work to support Noah.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I promise to provide updates on Noah’s condition and let you all know how he’s doing.
</div>

Support Noah's Battle Against Brain Cancer

<div>My nephew Andrew Letzerich had surgery to remove a large tumor in his colon two weeks ago. The doctors had to remove over 2 ft of his colon. Since then, even though the tumor was benign, he has had several complications and this week has had 5 other procedures. He is currently in the hospital of Spanish Fork, Utah. It is expected that his recovery will take several months. My sister, who is a single mom, has been by his side day and night for the past two weeks. She does not have a job right now nor will she be able to work for months since she will be caring for Andrew. We appreciate any donations, no matter the size. Everything makes a difference! We thank you for reading this and ask if you could share with your friends. My sister's Venmo is  @Jessica-SeguraCastillo

Helping my sister and Andrew in his recovery 

<div>Im 18 years old, and in February I got accepted into my dream school, BYU. I’ve been the biggest BYU fan for my entire life and getting accepted has always been my main drive for performing well inside and outside of school. Throughout my whole life I've always been an avid BYU sports fan. I've spent countless hours following BYU basketball and football, stressed, celebrating, and sometimes crying over games. This ultimately led to my passion for collecting BYU sports memorabilia. This has been one of my biggest hobbies these past few years and has taken lots of research and time but has been more than worth it. Selling my memorabilia has been tough but raising money for BYU is ultimately the most important objective for me. Being a BYU fan has been the biggest blessing in my life and I couldn’t be more excited to be attending the best school in the country. Go Cougs!

<div>As many of you have come to hear, Jaime Nuñez was in a motorcycle accident on Saturday April 8th, 2023. He was such a kind, caring, and funny person with an unforgettable personality and soul. He was the best son, brother, grandson, uncle, and friend that will never be forgotten.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As soon as we have updates on Jaime service dates and time will be posted and updated. Any kind of help we receive will be greatly appreciated by our family.

<div>I am managing this fundraiser with permission from the Suafoa Family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Unexpectedly, the Suafoas lost their husband of 40+ years, their #girldad, and their grampy, on August 11. Many called Uati a "gentle giant" as his ex-football-playing, Samoan frame housed the most kind, giving and loving man. He served his church and community with every minute and every ounce of energy he had up until the day he went to the hospital. I could go on and on about his generous nature, but anyone who met him knows the kind of man he was.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Due to his pre-existing health issues, Uati was denied the option of transferring his life insurance policy after a job change. He was left without any coverage. At this time, we are graciously asking for any contribution toward funeral expenses you may be able to give. If we had $1 for every life Uati touched or every person he served, I am certain all expenses would be covered in minutes.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I will continue to add more, and update with funeral details as they come, but for now, I want to ease the financial burden for the family. Our hearts are will Uati's wife, Elizabeth (Bette), daughters Beverly (husband Keola), Shannon and Chelsea, and grandchildren Ian, Logan, Cameron and Noa as they grieve this tremendous loss.

If you know Collin, you know about his larger than life heart. He spent every day of his 40 years on this earth giving to those around him. Caring for strangers, quietly serving.  Giving the shirt off his back and the Jordans off his feet.  You likely heard his moving message to #savethekids and #savetheparents, encouraging us to put our phones down and go live a beautiful life. <br />He shared this message 500 times a year all over the country.<br /><br />On October 20, 2020 he suddenly passed away surrounded by his family. We are shattered, and he leaves behind his beautiful wife Elizabeth, their four amazing kids: Avery, Quincey, Lola and Myles (and their dogs Tuque and Winston Bishop, too). They were his world and he was theirs. The hole he left in our family will never be filled, and we know he touched hundreds of thousands of you, too. <br /><br />Collin had big dreams for this world, and his family, and we have been inundated with love and support, wondering what can be done to help. We've created this fundraiser to help ensure that his family can continue living a beautiful life. That although he might not be here to take them fishing, or to the beach, or sing them songs to help them fall asleep at night, we will be the hands to lift them up. We know we and his community will give back, since he gave us all so much. <br /><br />Collin encouraged Liz to go back to school to get her Master's, and without a life insurance policy and their champion Collin, they are facing a lot of unknowns. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, for any contributions. We ask for privacy for the family in this trying time.<br /><br />If you'd prefer to Venmo you can send directly to his wife @Elizabeth-Kartchner. <br />Cards and condolences can be sent to PO Box 921 Pleasant Grove, UT 84062<br />A celebration of his life is TBA.<br /><br />Email michelle at <a href="mailto:[email redacted]">[email redacted]</a> for questions/inquiries.

Easton Jay Knight was born on April 1st at 3:01am. Unfortunately, our Heavenly Father called him home before he entered this world. Katie and Brandon will have a mountain of hospital bills and now need to pay to bury this sweet boy. This is a difficult time for so many, so if you can’t donate, please pray for the Knight family.

Hello! My name is Grizzly. I am my mama’s world. ♥️She was training me to be her medical alert service dog, and I was doing great! I recently started experiencing pain in my neck and we thought maybe it was an injury. We did an MRI and a mass was found in my neck that had pushed its way through my spine and attached to my spinal cord. This mass is cancerous and we are working on raising the money so I can have it removed! My mama says she won’t give up on my until I say I’m ready. My mama works two jobs and has taken out a loan to care for my needs, but unfortunately it is not enough. We are asking that if you could help with even just a dollar towards my care, we would be forever grateful so I may have this mass removed and have a better chance of beating this cancer! Please do not feel obligated at all. We just ask if you could share this as my story as many times as possible, so we can reach as many people as we can for support. Thank you to all who have followed my IG over the years. Please keep me in your love and prayers as well as send me all the pawsitive vibes you have. ♥️Sending you our love and aloha!

Love For Grizzly

She has seizures, blindness, can't walk, can't talk, is on a feeding tube, plus much more. She is getting lots of therapy on a daily basis to try to help her improve. <br /><img class="not-resizable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/22304486_1500251661.4318_funddescription.jpg" alt="" width="100%" />~Before- walking and enjoying life~<br /><br />I,Jen, (Dorothy's cousin) am setting up this gofundme because we have found a treatment that has been proven to help heal and improve brain damage. The therapy is called <strong>H.B.O.T</strong>. Its oxygen therapy that when cells in the brain die, either from trauma or lack of oxygen, blood plasma leaks out into surrounding brain tissue causing swelling and reducing blood flow. These otherwise normal cells go dormant because they can't function without the appropriate amount of oxygen. <strong>H.B.O.T</strong> dramatically increases the oxygen carried in the blood plasma, making oxygen available to heal damaged capillary walls, preventing plasma leakage and reducing swelling. As the swelling decreases, blood flow can be restored to the dormant tissue (neovascularization) and these cells then have the potential to function again. The problem is, insurance doesn't cover this. Emelynn will need close to 100 treatments and the family needs our help to cover all the medical costs for this treatment. She needs to start this as soon as possible. <strong>The sooner we raise the funds, the quicker our little fighter can have a second chance at learning to walk, talk, run and play again. <img class="not-resizable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/22304486_1500251608.0193_funddescription.jpg" alt="" width="100%" /></strong>~Before- Look at those baby blues~<strong><br /><br /></strong>

Medical Treatment for Emelynn

25 years ago began a history of love that endured even with the challenges, we have 3 children that God gave us to care for.<br /><br />We are a family fighting every day, always with faith and holding Gods hand.<br /><br />Humberto Jimenez is 43 years old and needs a bone marrow transplant because he has cancer called mylodisplastic syndrome which causes his plaques to go down too much following last year when he had a stroke and did not know why.<br /><br />Thank God it did not affect his brain, his life was normal, very healthy, he did not feel sick, and he made his regular checkups.<br /><br />One day Our Heavenly Father put in his path a doctor to whom Humberto was going to do a job for. The doctor full of love and affection, recommended him to get some blood tests, of which the results were not so good. Therefore the next step was a bone marrow biopsy which led to the result of a diagnosis known as Mmylodisplastic syndrome.<br /><br />It was very difficult for his children for whom he works hard  for every day to keep them moving forward. As a family we have always seen him as a strong, healthy and loving father, even with the diagnosis he never lost his sense of humor and smile and he has always been thankful for what God has given him.<br /><br />Today I turn to every loving heart for your support so that my husband can have his bone marrow transplant and if it is the will of God he can continue to sow love here in this world.<br /><br />Where we live in San Antonio, TX we reached an agreement with the hospital that they would cover 50% of the treatment and we would cover the rest, however on May 2 we were informed that their transplant would not be in San Antonio but had to be carried out In the city of Houston, TX so the previous agreement is void. My insurance will not cover 50% and we are forced to collect the total amount of the treatment.<br /><br />Which, the amount of the transplant is beyond our reach and we wish with all my heart that Humberto has the opportunity to live and continue walking by the hand of God.<br /><br />The transplant must be carried out as soon as possible but the only limitation is money, his life depends on this treatment and there is no specific date we are really just waiting to raise the money so that this can be done.<br /><br />That is why we are resorting to this medium so that with the support of so many beautiful people in the world we can achieve this miracle of love so that together we can achieve the much desired transplant for Humberto Jimenez.<br /><br />I hope this message can be shared and that it can touch many hearts.<br /><br />SPANISH<br />Hace 25 años empezó una historia de amor que a perdurado aun con los desafíos, tenemos 3 hijos que Dios nos dio a cuidar.<br /><br />Somos una familia luchando cada día, siempre con fe y tomados de la mano de Dios.<br /><br />Humberto Jimenez tiene 43 anos de edad y necesita un transplante de medula ósea debido a que tiene un cancer llamado síndrome mylodisplasico la cual hace que sus plaquetas se bajen demasiado, el ano pasado tubo un derrame cerebral y no supieron porque.<br /><br />Gracias a Dios no afecto su cerebro, su vida era normal, muy sano, no se sentía mal y se hacia sus chequeos <br /><br />Un día Nuestro Padre Celestial puso en su camino a un doctor al cual Humberto iba a hacer un trabajo para su casa, el doctor por tener confianza y cariño le recomendó que se hiciera unos análisis de sangre, los resultados de sangre no fueron tan buenos e hicieron una biopsia de medula ósea, después de días de mucha ansiedad y espera el resultado fue síndrome mylodisplasico.<br /><br />Fue muy difícil para sus hijos por los cuales a luchado cada día para sacarlos adelante como familia siempre lo hemos visto como un hombre fuerte y sano y amoroso padre aun con el diagnostico el nunca a perdido su sentido del humor y de sonreír y agradecer por lo que Dios le a dado.<br /><br />Hoy recurro a cada corazón amoroso por su apoyo para que mi esposo pueda tener su transplante de medula ósea y si es la voluntad de Dios el pueda seguir sembrando amor aquí en este mundo terrenal.<br /><br />Donde vivimos en San Antonio, TX llegamos aun acuerdo con el hospital que ellos cubrirán el 50% del tratamiento y nosotros cubriríamos el resto, sin embargo el 2 de Mayo nos informaron que su transplante no seria  en San Antonio sino que se tenia que llevar acabo en la ciudad de Houston, TX por tanto el acuerdo anterior quedo nulo mi aseguranza no va a cubrir el 50% y nos vemos obligados a juntar el monto total del tratamiento.<br /><br />Lo cual, la cantidad del transplante queda fuera de nuestro alcanza y deseamos de todo corazón que Humberto tenga la oportunidad de vivir y segur caminando de la mano de Dios <br /><br />El transplante se debe llevar acabo a la mayor brevedad posible el único limitante es el dinero, su vida depende de este tratamiento y no hay una fecha específica realmente estamos solo esperando juntar el dinero para que esto se pueda realizar.<br /><br />Es por eso que estamos recurriendo a este medio para que con el apoyo de tantas personas bellas en el mundo podamos lograr este milagro de amor para que juntos podamos lograr el tan deseado transplante de Humberto Jimenez.<br /><br />Ojalá que este mensaje pueda ser compartido y que pueda tocar muchos corazones.

Our hearts are broken for him and his 4 sweet children who lost their wife and mother.<br /><br />If you can, please donate to help with her funeral and medical expenses. As you can imagine, they never planned on needing to plan and pay for a funeral and we would appreciate any donation you can give to ease the burden on Ryan at this time.  If you can't donate at this time, please share this for our family. <br /><br />As most of you know, we lost our sweet mom, Cindy, 18 months ago and Jennifer lost her mom just over a year ago. They have had a lot of heartbreak in their lives, but you would never find someone who is funnier or more full of life than Jennifer.  She was the life of every party and was always doing something crazy. <br /><br />We will miss her loud and crazy personality, we don't understand why it was her time to go,  but we find comfort in the knowledge that we will see her again, that she is with her mom and mother-in-law, that God's plan is eternal and that we are an eternal family. We know how to do hard things!! <br /><br />Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

I usually don't ask for help but I am now. Me and my family found out two weeks ago that my 11 year old little brother has a brain tumor. He had surgery and has had 80-90% of the tumor removed.  I'm asking for donations to help my family out. My dad is taking a leave of absence to take care of him, so anything will help! This kid is 11. We just want a quality of life for for him. If you aren't able to donate please share. Thank you
